I already have a family, I still dont want to change the size of my balls though. I want to do this cycle, a proper pct and only have changed one thing permanently, muscle size and strength. I talked to a girl the other day whose ex had cycled steroids and his balls shrunk and sucked up into his body(by the way she explained it)
I allready have all the kids I need too...
Actual "shrinkage" is over stated. I'd compare it more to taking a dip in cold water effect than actual size loss.
That is when I'd personaly consider the HCG @ 1000-1500iu every 3-5 day regimine as a necessity.
The 300-500 2x wk prob will help prevent shutdown. Ive done it both ways, and all I can say is that HCG is a powerfull preformance enhancer w/ heavy work or sex. I think overusing it may be a mistake moreso than AAS use.
I've run over a year+ @ hrt doses (and ocasionaly cranked it up
) and had a endocrinologist do a full exam.
Sperm count was very low, but not low enough to work safely for contraceptive purposes, which is what I wanted,
So he did several sperm counts. 200mgs wk E is suposed to make for almost zero sperm count in time, but bouncing dose around must counteract that. He also measured testes w/ a caliper and said "normal".
I'd run many cycles over the years before this also BTW.
No blood readings out of normal. I came off after that long (up to 1000mgs wk front end) with no real difficulty.
I taperd off to "anabolics" (Prop..Stanoz...Var..) did some HCG at 1000-1500 as above before the anabolics, clomid 1-2 tabs for 2 wks. I felt not to bad, and felt 100% in about 8 wks. I had like a 700total test count in about 12 wks,
but my free Test levels have allways been very low, even before I ever used AAS.
IMO unless you intend to run HRT levels permanently, tapper off each time and take a good break between cycles.
If your at a age where recovery to ass-busting work is just not where it was, consider HRT. But those sudden gains you get when just starting a cycle dont come when allways on.
